I feel really sad, I went to see several of my friends off a few hours ago. I miss talking to them. I am like a wreck, so empty. Believe me...

Yeah, I get like that when I see friends or something. When my family used to come over from Gibraltar, my cousins and me and my bro would just muck around, as kids do, solidly for about 2 weeks. And as soon as they went back, there was just this emptiness inside, as if to say "what am I going to do now?". You suddenly become bored instantly. There is no cure. As the visitee, there is nothing you can do, the visitor of course has the journey to worry about so isn't bored. The rules and etiquette of a visit I'm afraid.
 
Jim, you are right, I don't know what to do now. I want everything to finish . No one around to help me. My papa-i don't even know where he is now, maybe he's the only one who is near and most understands what stuff is going on.

Having someone to talk to is better.
 
Well you are always welcome to talk here, it is my day off today, I'm bored. Supposed to be going to town with a girl to do some shopping for my brother's birthday but she hasn't bothered contacting me yet. Now I'm lonely.
 
Why don't you call her ?

...:bugeye: ... I hadn't thought of that... I may just do that!
 
you don't seem to know her numbers, why not asked her ?
 
I do have her number. I sent her a text message, and she hasn't replied. I'm assuming she is asleep because she is attached like a limpet to her mobile phone.
